"Nuclear Iran" Adds Fuel to Nuclear Reactors

Nuclear Iran. I never thought I would live to see the day when the US and the UN would pretty much allow Iran to become a "nuclear power." Now, I know that I will live to see that day, as Iran, with the help of Russia, has been able to make its first "nuclear power plant" for "peaceful purposes."

Does anyone see anything wrong with that? While it will be a while before Iran will be able to produce enough radioactive agents in order to make a nuclear bomb, having both Israel and Iran in the Middle East with their own nuclear weapons could be disastrous at best.

Below is news coverage on Iran becoming a Nuclear power.

Obama: Ahmadinejad at UN Offends US Near Ground Zero

Obama walked out on Ahmadinejad at the UN in NYC after the Iranian president accused the United States of perpetrating the 9/11 attacks on ourselves in order to save the "Zionist Regime" which is, in their cryptic terms, Israel.

So basically, what the President of Iran is saying is that the US flew 2 planes into their own buildings using radical Muslim pilots to give it that "rogue jihadist" look, and then used the incident to ensure Israel's survival.

Israel is a tough country, if I do say so myself. I highly doubt that they would need the US to "pretend" to have a terrorist attack to ensure their survival. The claims were uncalled for, and blatantly offensive - especially given the proximity to ground zero.

Joining Obama in the walkout was Great Britain as well. Thanks, Britain for standing in there with us. It's too bad we had to allow this crazed leader to come to our country only to slap us in the face.

What are your thoughts on Ahmadinejad and Obama walking out on him at the UN?

Clemency Granted Sarah Shourd Released from Iran

Clemency was granted in Iran to Sarah Shourd, one of three Americans who crossed in to Iran via Iraq’s northern Kurdish border. Shourd’s clemency is an act of kindness at the end of the Holy Month of Ramadan.

Shourd and two other Americans have been held in Iraq since July 2009. There is some speculation that they are going to try the trio - now the duo - as spies.

Previously, the Iranian government also allowed the detainees to see their mothers one time - at the same hotel where Sarah Shourd will be released.

Clemency is common at the end of Ramadan. If Shourd is released, this is going to be great news as she has reported that she has health problems that need to be tended to, including a lump in her breast and precancerous cervical cells.

Iran Stoning: An Adulterous Woman's Son Fears Execution After Ramadan

In Iran, stoning is a punishment used for adultery.  An Iranian woman accused of being adulterous faces stoning as an execution, and her son fears that she will be executed after the Holy Month of Ramadan is over.  


Right now, the Muslim World is under the Holy Month of Ramadan, and as a result, these types of executions don't take place. However under Islamic law the executions can resume after the holiday is over.


However, it will soon be over and Sakineh Mohammadi-Ashtiani could be executed soon. Her son hasn't been able to speak to her since she made a public apology in August.

Many believe that the "apology" was co-erced from the Iranian government. 


There has been international outcry over the potential stoning.  People in the western world don't understand why something such as adultery would warrant death.  People in Middle Eastern societies want the western world to leave them to their own devices. 


Ironically, she's being put to death for adultery but only received a 10 year prison sentence for participating in her husband's murder.


A female journalist has said the following of Ashtiani "Sakineh is the symbol of all the women who are tortured and assaulted in prison in Iran. I hope international support, as well as obtaining Sakineh's liberation, will open the way to a change in this situation."

Iranian Newspaper Claims Carla Bruni a Prostitute, Deserves to Die

An Iranian newspaper called Carla Bruni-Sarkozy a prostitute, and later said that she deserved to die.  Bruni posted a call for clemency of a woman sentenced to be stoned to death by the Iranian government for committing adultery.


The "prostitute" claims stem from the supermodel's active social life before she married the French president.  Many believe that she's the reason that Nicolas Sarkozy divorced his former wife. 


Bruni is far from alone in demanding the clemency of the woman in Iran sentenced to death by stoning. Many within the international community do not think that the crime warrants the punishment. 


The French Foreign ministry spoke out about the comments, and the Iranian government has publicly backed away from the comments made by the state-run newspaper. 


I must say I was shocked when Iran called Carla Bruni a prostitute. My jaw hit the floor when they said she deserved to die...

Iran Nuclear Program could Signify Doomsday?

The Iranian nuclear program has garnered a lot of world attention. Iran ’s nuclear program is taking place despite wide opposition from the UN. After several sanctions, Iran loaded the nuclear reactors in their power plant and now have the chance to enrich uranium.

Aiding Iran is Russia – one of the US ’s adversaries. Of course, relations between the US and Russia have improved slightly since the end of the Cold War era, but there’s still a lot of animosity between the two countries.

The Australian reports about the probability that a nuclear Tehran could signify doomsday. They indicate that an opinion piece on the daily Ha'aretz which reads “There is an 80 per cent probability that within nine months to two years from now the Israeli home front will absorb 1000 to 20,000 losses.”

The cause of the losses are expected to be from retaliation from Israeli missile strikes on Iran ’s nuclear program.

Iran doesn’t currently have a nuclear weapon, but with every bit of enriched uranium they get they are just all the more closer. It’s a scary time for the world, don’t you think? DO you think we are on the brink of World War III?
